Operation Connection Plugs 120 VAC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacle This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to power 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only high quality, well-insulated, 3wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater). Keep extension cords as short as possible to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires. 000203 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater). Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by two 25 Amp (5.5kW) or two 30 Amp (6.5kW) push-to-reset or one 30 Amp 2-pole toggle switch or two 30 Amp push button to reset (6.5/7.5kW) circuit breaker. How to Use the Generator If there are any problems operating the generator, call the generator helpline at 1-888-431-6871. Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use out- doors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust. The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which cannot be seen or smelled. The gas is poisonous, and if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to gen- erator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors. The exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or standards. Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors. Be sure it is properly installed according to the manufacturers instruc- tions. DANGER Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents. 000657 000204 Grounding Generator If Used as Portable An equipment ground connects the generator frame components to ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. This allows the generator to be used as a portable without grounding the frame as specified in NEC 250.34. Neutral bonded to frame. Special Requirements There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. 8 Owner's Manual for Portable Generator
